According to Crunchyroll, Suzume has seen the highest Japanese box office opening of any Makoto Shinkai film to date. Considering that Your Name is only roughly $120 million off being the highest-grossing anime film, Suzume might be the one that finally takes down the mighty Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train if it continues to perform this well. To put this into actual numbers, Crunchyroll reports that “Suzume made 114.7% of Weathering With You’s three-day opening box office gross.”
Suzume is outperforming even the recent Marvel release Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as according to the press release, the film has made 1.88 billion yen (US$13.51 million) on the back of 1.08 million tickets sold. This is Makoto Shinkai’s seventh feature film-length movie.
MyAnimeList summarizes the plot of Suzume as:
Crunchyroll will be bringing the film to theaters outside of Asia sometime in 2023, and we can only hope it’s very early 2023.
